“Op de belangrijkste vragen geeft de mens uiteindelijk met zijn hele leven antwoord. Het maakt niet uit wat hij tussendoor zegt, welke woorden en argumenten hij aanvoert om zich te verdedigen. Aan het eind, als alles voorbij is, geeft hij met de feiten van zijn leven antwoord op de vragen die de wereld zo hardnekkig aan hem blijft stellen. Die vragen luiden: Wie ben jij? Wat wilde je echt? Waartoe was je werkelijk in staat? Waaraan was je trouw en ontrouw? Waarvoor of voor wie was je moedig genoeg of te laf? Dat zijn de vragen. En een mens geeft antwoord naar beste kunnen, eerlijk of leugenachtig; maar dat is niet zo belangrijk. Wat wel belangrijk is, is dat hij uiteindelijk met zijn hele leven antwoordt.”

“Yes, it would be worthwhile to study clinically, in detail, the steps taken by Hitler and Hitlerism and to reveal to the very distinguished, very humanistic, very Christian bourgeois of the twentieth century that without his being aware of it, he has a Hitler inside him, that Hitler inhabits him, that Hitler is his demon, that if he rails against him, he is being inconsistent and that, at bottom, what he cannot forgive Hitler for is not crime in itself, the crime against man, it is not the humiliation of man as such, it is the crime against the white man, the humiliation of the white man, and the fact that he applied to Europe colonialist procedures which until then had been reserved exclusively for the Arabs of Algeria, the coolies of India, and the blacks of Africa.”

“To say that straight men are heterosexual is only to say that they engage in sex (fucking exclusively with the other sex, i.e., women). All or almost all of that which pertains to love, most straight men reserve exclusively for other men. The people whom they admire, respect, adore, revere, honor, whom they imitate, idolize, and form profound attachments to, whom they are willing to teach and from whom they are willing to learn, and whose respect, admiration, recognition, honor, reverence and love they desire… those are, overwhelmingly, other men. In their relations with women, what passes for respect is kindness, generosity or paternalism; what passes for honor is removal to the pedestal. From women they want devotion, service and sex.
Heterosexual male culture is homoerotic; it is man-loving.”
